Well, I am. I'm willing to stop using gmail if Google doesn't step back.

I'm already making medium-term plans to run my own mail server.

I removed the "auto-added" things, then switched off "buzz"... but I got many "followers" after that (Buzz can be hidden but not disabled!).

It was crazy to see conversations of people I know speaking with others... GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU FUCKING BUZZ!
